  drank with Bernhardt's and Pepper's. Good color preservation still medium red at the edge with a darkish center. Nose was slightly influenced by the heat but not oxidized. A bit softer than normal. Good concentration and balance with a medium length finish. Close to mature.

  Still very good, but past it's peak now. Mature, but still with lots of fruit and meat juice flavors, maroon edges, sweet floral nose. Not as lively or fresh tasting as our last three bottles. Medium bodied and very smooth, good as a sipper but better with a steak. Drink up if you have them.

  Ok, no formal note here, but having opened the 04 prestige less than 2 weeks prior, this was tasting vastly better. Where the 04 tasted tired, frustrating, stewed, and was one of those bottles that made me question the viability of grenache in chateauneuf, this wine was far more digestible and balanced, despite its size. I will concur with other TNs that it didn’t register as a delightful drink but my expectations weren’t outlandish to begin with. This has been a favourite chateauneuf bottling of mine for years but am certainly out of the honeymoon phase with this village.
